I will definitely try this! Protein bars are very expensive and the list of ingredients tipically include all kind of artificial ingredients. These seem very easy to prepare too, which is a plus for a hopeless cook like me!

I didn't have chocolate protein powder, so I added 3 tbsps. of cocoa in all. It took more than 5 tablespoons of water to make it work, mainly I think because I didn't heat the peanut butter and agave. I made mine into balls and got about 32 out of them. Absolutely wonderful! I will make again!

These sound gorgeous and would be great as a grab and go snack or when I need that chocolate hit,plus I really need to work on getting a little more protein into my diet. However I'm dairy free. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could make it dairy free without too many cals or fat please?

I used vanilla flavored protein powder because I have a lot of it at home. I added more cocoa to the mix and added chopped walnuts to this also, since it is the favorite way my family likes their bars.

I would LOVE to make these, but need a dairy-free substitute for the chocolate whey powder, since my daughter is anaphylactic to milk (not lactose intolerant -- we're talking about a life-threatening allergy to all milk proteins, including whey, casein, etc). Any thoughts most welcome

Has anybody used this with soy protein powder? If so, how did they turn out? I don't use whey because the cholesterol amount in it seems extremely high and was told by a friend who went to med. school that whey can cause bulking up much more than soy.

I have not even made these yet, but I can tell it is a great base for homemade protein bars which saves a lot of money and cuts out the preservatives which I think are responsible for at least half of our cancers. Im a survivor.

I made these last night and I love them! I subbed almond butter for peanut butter and used 6T of water instead of 5. I made them with optimum nutrition double rich chocolate protein powder, and I did not need the cocoa powder! They are so good, and I will surely make them again! Texture: Nouget-ey

This sounds so good and easy to do...But does any one have another recipe for a high protein high fiber bars? As I am highly allergic to most Nuts ... I can still have pistachio nuts ... but I have never seen a butter form of it in the stores.

Sorry, but these were gross and chalky. I was skeptical, knowing how chalky the protein powder could taste. But after reading good reviews, gave it a try and wanted it to taste good and be healthy. Sorry, this was not good and nothing like the picture at all either. Very disappointed.

Tried these with the optional cocoa and a bit of vanilla extract. How can something not baked be so good? Or have so many calories?! The individual servings are small, but delightfully chewy and filling enough I don't feel compelled to finish them all at once. Good for my sweet dessert bias.

As a peanut butter and a chocolate lover, I absolutely love this recipe. I used two tablespoons of skippy natural no stir peanut butter(it has 190 calories) I also had to used 7 tablespoons of water because of my protein power. I will definitely be making this again.

These taste great! I used half peanut butter and half almond butter to reduce the peanut butter flavor and increase the fiber a bit. I substituted 1.25 c vanilla whey powder, and .25 c cocoa powder, and increased the honey to 4 Tbsp. They hold together nicely.

Used Champion Nutrition Pure Whey Protein Stack, Chocolate to make these & they were excellent! I used agave instead of honey and used the optional cocoa powder. I used 2 T water which appeared to be enough until I cut the bars & then I realized some of them were crumbly. Will add more next time.

These are very good. I think I added more water than called for just to get the final 'dough' a bit more workable. There is none of that 'yucky' protein powder taste. I did use the cocoa and even sprinkled a little coffee in.

These look really good, I will definitely give them a try, although based on the ingredients shown and the type of Protein used, I figure these to be closer to 13G protein which is good but closer to an energy bar number than a protein bar.

I made mine with vanilla Designer whey, cut the amount of the protein powder to 1 cup instead of 1 1/2, and skipped the cocoa. So good! Definitely going to be a regular addition to the lineup. Just what I needed today!

Thanks for posting this recipe! This is a great alternative to store bought protein bars! I felt like I was eating no bake cookies. The recipe mixed together well. I think I'll use less water next time.

I used almond butter instead of the peanut butter. The bars are good, but I think they could stand a pinch of salt and they might benefit from using the chunky nut butter instead of the smooth. Great savings over purchased bars, though, and just as good.

I found this recipe to be very easy & simple to make. I didn't have any all natural peanut butter so I used Skippy which was all I had. I ended up using 6 tablespoons of water but other than that change it turned out awesome. I've made protein bars before and the taste was off but this is wonderful.
